【Tianshan Number Special Train 2026 In-depth Experience Guide:13-Day Panoramic Tour from Urumqi to the Pamir Plateau】
🌄 Route Highlights:A mobile viewing platform crossing the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains
As Xinjiang’s first panoramic tourist special train, the “Tianshan Number” features “scenery following the train, traveling by night and touring by day,” connecting 8 major 5A scenic areas including Tianchi Lake of Tianshan, Kanas, and Sayram Lake, covering both the forest grasslands of northern Xinjiang and the Gobi oases of southern Xinjiang. The special train features all soft sleeper carriages, equipped with panoramic windows, charging ports, and 24-hour hot water. Each carriage has a dedicated tour guide providing commentary services. The itinerary specially designs a “one place, multiple views” model—for example, during the stop at Kanas, you can also visit Hemu Village, Colorful Beach, and other surrounding highlights, avoiding the “skim-the-surface” experience of traditional group tours.
